This course is a comprehensive introduction to the basic concepts, major equipment, control and protection systems, as well as principles relating to electrical power distribution. It is general in nature, and provides non-electrical engineers with an introduction to the industry of high voltage power distribution and the components which make up our national electrical grid.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, you'll learn about:-
- Safety in Power Distribution
- Distribution Systems - Substations, Transformers, Circuit Designs
- Control and Protective Devices - Cutouts, Switches, Fuses, Reclosers
- Underground Considerations - Manholes, Ducts, Trenches, Risers, Potheads
- Personal Protective Equipment and Hot Line Tools
- Overhead Equip. - Poles, Anchors, Guys, Hardware, Crossarms
- Insulators, Conductors, Cabling Ties
- Cabling Installation, Sagging Procedures, Pulling Procedures
- Grounding Procedures, Equipment
- Transformers, Delta and Wye Configurations, Connections
- Underground Systems - Entries, Duct Systems, UG and Buried Equipment
- Toxic / Explosive Gases
- Trenching Procedures, and Equipment
- Pad-Mount Transformers, Enclosures, Risers
- Test of Power Distribution Systems
- Maintenance of Distribution Systems
For engineers that typically only work on the commercial building side of electrical distribution systems, this is a good, well-rounded overview of the utility side.
Good Review of Maintenance and Operation of Power Distribution Systems.
Be prepared to spend several hours reading over the materials, maybe less if you’re VERY familiar with the material.
PDH was very responsive to answering any questions I had.
